The 4 Nations Face-off is coming this week, and the fans are excited. However, many star players are either committed to their franchise or injured, for which they may not have a chance to skate on the rink of this international tournament. And among the injured was Sidney Crosby, who sustained an upper-body injury after the Pittsburgh Penguins’ match against the New Jersey Devils.
While #87 was on the ice for some practice sessions, ultimately he didn’t play in the recent games for the Penguins. However, the main concerns were around his future with Team Canada for the 4 Nations Face-off. But with a recent update, the fans who were curious about his status might relax.
Indeed, Sidney Crosby has made it back to the rink, as reported by Spittin’ Chiclets on X. The social media video was the proof that the Penguins captain, who recently missed their NHL games, is back on the ice for the practice with Team Canada. Crosby proudly represents his country by donning the red sweater with the maple leaf on it.
The video shows the team captain walking out of the door while holding two hockey sticks. However, after giving back one of the two sticks, he positions himself on the rink and skates away. This might be solid proof that Crosby is out of the injury concerns, and if he can properly skate on the ice, then he might play for Team Canada in a few days.
